As you can see the margins are out of alignment. I have done what I could to adjust the HTML code to conform the table to the structure of the web-page and even though it is not perfectly adjusted, I felt it was a tool of significant value to warrant its inclusion.
If you take the time to become familiar with this table I believe it will prove indispensable as a tool for understanding your own behavior, that of others and the personal and professional development of both.
If you find it useful, I would request that you add Elemental Truths to your bloglines reader and share links with others who you feel would benefit from it. As always, I invite you to comment and visit often.
